The most delicious healthy blondie recipe EVER
I mean I do call myself Healthful BLONDIE for a couple of reasons….
This blondie recipe is out of this world tasty! It is so good that I usually have to bake two batches so that they all don’t disappear on the first day.
I love enjoying this scrumptious vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free dessert after dinner and even as an afternoon snack sometimes (shhhhh)! I like to add a scoop of ice cream to elevate this dessert even more.
The texture is truly divine — melt in your mouth divine!
So what’s the big hype around baking with chickpeas these days?
I love baking with chickpeas. You’ll see very soon. They create a very soft, fudgy texture. And, best of all, you CANNOT even taste them. I promise. I refuse to eat desserts that taste like vegetables or have no sweetness to them. If you are going to enjoy a sweet treat, do it right!
Ingredients you’ll need to make the BEST healthy blondies
You’ll need a few ingredients to get this recipe going! But you know me, I am all about simplicity and ease, so don’t worry, you won’t need to go to the supermarket and buy a lot of expensive baking ingredients. This lists is really simple:
- Canned chickpeas
- Almond butter
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Coconut sugar
- Coconut flour – you can easily substitute this with almond flour as well!
- Almond flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Chocolate chips
How to store this delicious treat?
These blondies are a family favorite and do not last more than a few days! But, for best results, store in a covered container for 3 -5 days at room temperature. You may freeze up to 2 months.

This was such a foolproof recipe and the results were 10/10! I stumbled across this recipe yesterday and was able to make them with everything I already had in my cupboard which was great. The inside texture is super fudgy and everything you’re looking for in a "healthy" blondie. Can’t wait to make these again!
